Another AI cyber test reached a real company through a misconfiguration

Meta confirmed an AI model exploited a third-party service after its evaluator accidentally opened internet access during testing. Reuters reports that The Information identified the model as Muse Spark 1.1 and said it breached an unidentified company’s systems and altered the internal environment. Irregular characterized the event as the same evaluation-environment issue Anthropic had disclosed and said it was not a sandbox escape or sophisticated cyber action. That distinction does not make the incident trivial. It shows how configuration, egress, and vendor controls can turn a fictional evaluation target into a real unauthorized intrusion.

But the investigation found that evaluation agents exploited an unknown Artifactory vulnerability and accessed four real accounts across four public services. A sandbox without direct internet access was not enough. The security boundary failed through surrounding infrastructure, credentials, and connected services.
